Can't possibly suck, everything is covered in bumpy shiny normal maps!

All hail Epic's mighty Unreal Engine!

kevnb6512d ago

its quite awesome, just not much different than prior installments (which are also awesome).

@ExAtari...

In complete agreement. I've used UE3 in my game dev courses and even at the lowest level natively supported by the engine, it's still shiny as hell.

sonarus6512d ago (Edited 6512d ago )

UT3 is a game for those of you who like no nonsense shoot every one in sight kind games. The game is kind of nice for a couple of weeks

As for the comparisons i expected a bigger leap in graphics for UT3 360. The game is almost 8 months older than PS3 build and development on 360 started first before sony struck their deal. Plus with epic optimizing UE3 significantly since then we were supposed to be seeing some gears of war 2 type graphics in the game. All it does is 360 version has better lighting in some areas and thats it.

Graphics are exactly the same as far as i can see

dcbronco6512d ago (Edited 6512d ago )

The game was used at E3 '05 to demonstrate the power of the PS3. 360 development started much later. It stopped when MS and Epic couldn't agree on mods. I did think they would have done more with the 360 version too though. I believe Epic has been less than honest about the progress of the games development on the 360 though. I think they pushed the date back because they wanted more time to try to get MS to except mods. I believe the 360 version was finished long before the PS3 version. If I remember right, the PC version had to wait on the PS3 version for release. The 360 version is not that different than the PC version in development terms. I know that it wouldn't have taken this much longer to make it.

mistertwoturbo6512d ago

It's a pointless comparison anyway. The first 1/3rd of the video is comparing a pre-recorded video to another pre-recorded video that might even just be the same damn video. I don't think the morons doing the comparison videos know that those weren't in engine cutscenes.

shazam6512d ago

the first part that was comparing the cutscene was pointless. in fact i bet that it was the exact same video file on both disks. (its not real time)

secondly this game will get old so quick. it lasted me about two weeks. then every sweet mod that came out breathed new life into the game. but there hasn't been any mods lately so there it is again collecting dust. i dont see how this wil last long on the 360 with no mods.

player9116512d ago

I did notice that environmental effects were absent in the PS3 version (rain, snow, lava dust, etc)

That video comparison was horrible anyway. There was only 1 or 2 scenes that played exactly the same... but they played 1 right after another instead of side by side.

The only thing I could see aside from the weather effects was the graphics looked blurrier on the PS3 and the contrast was adjusted and the image was sharper on the 360.

I dunno. I LOVE the UT series and have owned every single game up until this point. The PC demo is all I have because the lack of user created content in the 360 version blows it for me.

in one month battlefield, now ut3, man the world is completely messed up! how can there be no difference??

Real Gambler6512d ago

User made stuff for one console, but not the other : )

uxo226512d ago

I noticed that there was snow falling in the last level show on the 360 version. Does the PS3 version not have precipitation or is this a random effect?

JoelR6510d ago

Random effect and yes it occurs on the PS3 as well.

Fishy Fingers6513d ago (Edited 6513d ago )

Cut scene, maybe a little nicer on the 360, gameplay, not really anything instantly noticeable, same.

Anyhoo UT3 is so faced paced you never have enough time to have a prolonged look at everything, it's a great looking fragfest on any platform.

Thugbot1876512d ago

Up close they are the same. However if you look at the PS3, from a distance everything is a bit more blurred. I would say 360 barely better.

Rofflecopter6512d ago

360 for the cuscene, but only because its darker. other than that no cutscene difference. i didnt see a gameplay difference execpt for liking the weapon models on the more. also mods for ps3 version = pwnage. anyways, i have this and dont play much thanks to COD4 and MGS4..

shazam6512d ago

the cutscene is not real time. its a video! the exact same video on both disks. if you play it on a hdtv you would notice that the cutscene is slightly blocky because of video compression.

the ONLY, I repeat ONLY, difference between the two versions is that the ps3 version is slightly brighter or the 360 version is slightly darker; as usual.

SeanScythe6513d ago

Looks the same no differance.

Atomic6512d ago

it's like asking which turd looks better.

HateBoy6512d ago

I actually like the grfx, but yeah, they look exactly the same to me.

MUNKYPOO6513d ago

i thought the developers said it would look better than the ps3 version. i see no difference except the for the color which can be adjusted with the t.v. settings

MUNKYPOO6512d ago

bubbles for you as well my monkey brother

Panthers6512d ago

Yall should combine and form

Tech Focus - Motion Blur: Is It Good For Gaming Graphics?

Opinion is divided on this one for sure! Is motion blur good for gaming? Why do developers include it?

TheOptimist2869d ago

I hate any game that has motion blur and the first thing I do is switch off the motion blur in games. It just makes me nauseous.

XentaJones2869d ago

motion blur makes me sick... so its off.

OpenGL2869d ago

I agree with Alex here, many implementations are terrible but when it is done right it improves the experience.

2869d ago
TheSplooge2869d ago

I always turn it off. Along with depth of field.

Mr_Wilson2869d ago

Those plus vignetting, chromatic aberration, and film grain.

Let’s be Honest, DOOM Looks like the Best First Person Shooter We’ve Seen in Ages

Alex from GamersFTW writes:

“In all seriousness though, I feel like DOOM’s success will be measured by how much the game has to offer. Graphically it’s looking spectacular, and I’m sure the latest multiplayer trailer caught all of our attention. Personally, the game is beginning to remind me of those late nights playing Unreal Tournament 3, which is totally a good thing. This, in addition to the promise of user-generated content, is making DOOM look like the best first-person shooter I’ve seen in ages.”

The campaign looks brilliant, like a true nostalgia trip to the original DOOM titles of old! The multiplayer equally looks like a trip down memory lane to fast-paced and frantic arena games a-la Quake, and honestly the MP REALLY makes me want to the get game at launch to capitalise on the hype. Problem is I'm not overly fussed with multiplayer typically in games, they can get weary after a while, and buying a game solely for its MP is risky - especially on console - as it's heavily dependant on the community!

Rock to my left, hard place to my right..

EDIT: On the MP note, does anyone know if it'll have bots available, similar to Unreal Tournament 3? I still give that a quick play time to time with bots (and all the mad mutators).

c00lvilKid693700d ago

I’m exactly the same, usually multiplayer games are of no interest to me. But DOOM has sparked my curiosity, especially as someone who used to enjoy multiplayer first person shooters like Quake/Unreal. Totally understand your concerns about it being heavily dependant on the community, too. Which is just another reason they should include bots, in case the numbers need to be made up. I’m hoping the community will be good, considering the creative freedoms they’re handing over with the SnapMap thing.

esmittystud1013700d ago (Edited 3700d ago )

Its basically a "console" ahead, in terms of graphics, of another shooter called Homefront thats getting ready to release. LOL

wakeNbake3700d ago

Well thats just a low budget turd, no comparison at all.

mezati993700d ago

i am gonna have to agree with this
